Certainly:
In my opinion, based on information I have seen:
Manning stole information and passed it to wikileaks, who had a network for dissemination.
Manning was the theif and at this point the documents were stolen.
They were stolen before wikileaks received them.

Can I add, I would like to see the US Govt take action over the security that would allow 2.5 million people access to 250,000 documents that they can download.

How did I do?

2.5 million people did not have access to this information. The number one threat to any network, private or government, is any insider who decides to abuse his privileges.
